THE VACATION,

And the command was given and was il
observod?Let the thirst of the frequently i'm
billing answer. Judging from the howl ris-
ing from many quarters the joints had put
on another lock and issued no keys. Joiptists
in twos and fours could be seen marching up
| and down the streets keeping time to slow
march. Some thought it was dirge. The
eye, on an average, seemed to tell tale of
fear and trembling, not q little mixed with
anxiety. The color in the face had faded and
every movement looked as though it was the
product of desire to while away the time
waiting for something to turn up.
1t was little amusing to notice some Of
the plackards on the doors formerly leading
into joints. On East Douglas avenuethe doors
entering into joint on the second floor Of
brick building, bore the following inscrip-
ton: "Closed for today only" farther up
the avenue on another door, I'VE have been
busted, - 'em" On the opposite
sides OF the streets, ITO our boys, await
further orders"
The above seemed to be fair specimen Of
the tabs growing out Of the change. Quite
O number Of opinions were expressed con-
corning the situation, and there were about
as many ideas atioat as men TO express
them Some claimed that club houses
would be the outgrowth. In tie evening it
was claimed that club bad been formed OF
two hundred members, which would open
up in regular maine" style in q very few
days. Some insisted that history repeats
itself and the joints, like real estate, were
subject to an occasional lull.
There seems to be no let up policy advo
Gated by the police. Yesterday morning
the dens were vi.ited and all the so-called
dens had suspended operations One of the
druggists on East Douglas had wrapped up
the wrong bottle, by mistake Of course, for
which action he wes brought before the

Last evening large audience greeted Mis-

a laughable medley of mistakes and decep-
tions; the scene is an insane asylum. the piv-
otal incident-that in which lunatic con-
tinues to pass himself of for doctor and to
put the real doctor in his own place. Miss
Castleton as Sybilla Tubbs, a bashful
young maid just from boarding
school, acted with grace and
coyness which charmed her audience, and
her singing especially in her topical songs
was encored again and sgaio. The company
while not large was Of unusual excellence;
Mr.. Gerard, as the policeman, Mr.. Gilbert
as the lunatic, and Mr.. Donnelly as the
Victiculturist, especially standing in high
favor A better pleased audience has seldom
